Acting

When I was younger and blonder I used to get lots of acting work. Now my focus is on writing but I still like to play in front of the camera or on stage when I can.

I’ve done all sorts, from being core cast on a sketch comedy show, kids TV, guest parts on drama shows, a couple of small film roles. A highlight was as an ongoing guest role on Shortland Street as a bad bad mother and ex partner to Rangi the ambo officer. For years, I’d rock up, cause trouble and then leave. Another highlight was acting in one of my dad’s plays at the Fortune Theatre. I also do some voice work – notable jobs include being the voice of Flybuys (rewards you for just being you) and as the narrator in What Really Happened – Votes for Women.
